My broken buttons are on fire, aka Education makes you SMRT

[info]llama_treats
Today's tale comes to us from the bad_service community. In short, [info]jayphi77 posts a tale of woe about a local drycleaner who charged them "too much" for cleaning 12 shirts, especially since they came back, and I quote, "smelling of smoke and broken buttons". He/she/it writes a letter to said drycleaner, including a freaking long signature which appears to include every school they've ever attended. The drycleaner responds unfavorably in a letter back to the OP, commenting on their education. The commenters call shenanigans.

Bare Feet -- Srs Bsnss

[info]dreamworld
Over on Customers Suck, a poster complains about a shoeless customer coming into the restaurant where they work. In the comments ladygzb doesn't understand what the problem is.

After all, not that long ago, people of no means went barefoot as a matter of course, so why shouldn't she have the right to enter a public place with no shoes. Social conventions are meaningless. Going barefoot flaunts convention the way gay and interracial marriage does!

If your feet have a fungus it's the fault of your shoes! I went barefoot all through college and never caught anything like a fungal infection! In short, shoes are just disgusting and they make my feet hurt anyway.

And people keep on arguing with her.
